dc.description.abstractWhile zirconia implants exhibit osseointegration comparable to that of titanium, concerns arise regarding low-temperature degradation and its potential impact on fracture strength. This study investigated the phase transformation and fracture characteristics of zirconia dental implants after aging through chewing simulation and subsequent static loading. The experimental setup involved 48 one-piece monobloc zirconia implants with diameters of 3.0 mm and 3.7 mm that had straight or angled abutments, with crown restorations, which were divided into six groups based on intraoral regions. The specimens underwent chewing simulation equal to five years of oral service, which was followed by static loading. Statistical analyses were performed for the data obtained from the tests. After dynamic and static loadings, the fractured samples were investigated by Raman spectroscopy to analyze the phase composition and micro-CT to evaluate fracture surfaces and volume changes. According to the results, narrow-diameter zirconia implants have low mechanical durability. The fracture levels, fracture patterns, total porosity, and implant fracture volume values varied according to the implant diameter and phase transformation grade. It was concluded that phase transformation initially guides the propagation of microcracks in zirconia implants, enhancing fracture toughness up to a specific threshold; however, beyond that point, it leads to destructive consequences.
